Today is the anniversary of this battle in 1685 when the Monmouth rebels fought the army of James II to a draw and then heavy rain terminated proceedings, and the Rebels marched to Frome in thick mud. It always rains this weekend... Anyway this is the pub that was Monmouth's headquarters at the time of the battle - an assassination attempt on Monmouth took place here too. An amazing pub it has played host to Pepys and Henry VIII.
